Will your 2014 car be upgradeable 10 years from now? Microsoft zeroes in on the future with ‘intelligent car’ tech The software giant is turning its attention to in-car technology that goes well beyond the cockpit to what the company calls “the intelligent car” – a world in which telematics data could completely change the idea of car connectivity. The vision builds on a strategy outlined by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer last year for the company to become known for making devices as well as software, as Automotive News reports. Microsoft, which helped to develop Ford’s popular Sync hands-free system, is already highly recognized for its in-car software development. However, now the company is focused on expanding its vehicle development technology by providing upgradable operating systems. “The automotive industry faces a lot of unique challenges, perhaps first of which is that cars must be supportable for much longer than consumer electronic devices — 10 or 20 years, in most cases,” said Microsoft’s Pranish Kumar...

Naturally, a lot of hype was built up prior to the new 'Vette's unveiling.
